Work on the project got started in May with the demolition of a greystone at the same address, then got to work immediately on the new building. The new construction permit was issued March 19, with General Masonry handling general contractor duties in addition to being the developer.

The three-story with basement structure boasts inset balconies on the second and third floors at the front of the building, facing west, plus a private rooftop deck for the third-floor unit accessed from the rear metal stairway that connects all three levels. A product of 360 Design Studio, plans also call for a four-car garage with a rooftop deck at the rear of the property. That structure has been bricked up as well, as seen in the photo, with the rooftop work still to come.

I really like that two tone brick work.
Admittedly, this is a very handsome building. It’s still enraging that a greystone 3-flat demo was required to erect it
Finally a decent building…if we are going to be tearing down housing stock, at least this was a good replacement…but you tore that down?!?
